The Block’s Britt and Taz took out the win for their final interior rooms, but instead of receiving congratulations from their castmates, they were met with insults about how their rooms weren’t deserving.
Perhaps the most vocal among the bunch was Britt’s former bestie, Alicia, and her husband, Sonny, who told Britt and Taz to their faces that they thought Han and Can should have won the week.
When the couple headed off to Samurai Villas as part of their reward for their win, the rest of the cast met for their weekly dinner at Blackwood Hotel and openly vented their frustration over Brit and Taz’s win and the fact that they broke a rule by working ahead on their deck.
During an interview with Chattr, Britt and Taz admitted it was deflating to have their win overshadowed by criticism from their castmates.
“We were very disappointed,” Taz told Chattr. “We were very flat, you know, because we’ve all been through it. We’ve had great wins, and then we’ve had some losses, and during the losses, I feel like, you know, we’re there for people just as much as we are during the wins. And we get up and around people. So to have no one really hyping around us, it was pretty flat.”
Britt agreed, telling Chattr that the criticism from their castmates cast a shadow over their win.
“Because you’re feeling high, and then to just be quickly brought back down with, you know, comments about your space that you’ve put so much time and effort and soul into. So, it is a bit hard to hear that, but, you know, just proves back to the point that we’re just really, just trying to stay in our lane. And, you know, it’s trying to stay focused on ourselves and trying to enjoy our time here.”
Britt and Taz reveal which teams criticised their win the most
While it was clear to viewers that Sonny and Alicia weren’t thrilled about Britt and Taz’s victory, the Blackwood dinner made it seem like the entire cast felt they didn’t deserve it. But according to Britt and Taz, it was really just two teams who led the charge with relentless criticism.
“It was not so much all the other teams. Just obviously our neighbours, Sonny and Leish and Hannah and Can had their issues,” Taz said.
He added that while he agreed that Han and Can did a great job on their final interiors, he didn’t agree with the idea that his and Britt’s rooms weren’t worthy of the win.
“We understand the frustration from them; [Han and Can’s rooms] were absolutely stunning. [The judges’] critiques were that they weren’t very much Daylesford, but that might work in their favour. But yes, we said it ourselves, it was unbelievable.”
Brit pointed out that she thinks Sonny and Alicia’s heated reaction ran much deeper than not believing her and Taz’s room deserved the win.
“They haven’t won [a room reveal], so they’re feeling the pressure, and you know the way they play the game is coming out, and that’s not how we play the game,” she said.
The Block 2025 airs on Sundays at 7:30pm and Monday – Wednesday at 7pm on Channel 9 and 9Now.
